1. Breakfast is essential:

It’s a very unhealthy practice. Most of us skip breakfast for a variety of reasons such as lack of hunger, a busy schedule or to save on calories.

Whether it is a protein shake, a yogurt or your oatmeal, just start your day healthy.

The body needs water to burn calories. If you are even a little bit dehydrated, your metabolism may slow down. You need to drink at least 12 eight-ounce glasses of water every day. Those who do have higher metabolic rate than those who drink around 4 or less glasses of water a day. You can also drink cold water as your body may burn a few calories heating the cold water to your core temperature.
